Synopsis

Good Enough Parenting combines insights from the Scriptures, credible research, and the Louis experiences as counsellors and parents with the wisdom of eight elders and their families to provide an inspirational, thorough, practical and well reasoned guide for parents.

Readers will also learn how to avoid Exasperation Interactions; and the Vortex of Conflict Escalation, as well as how to Repair and Reconnect with teenagers and adult children.
